Overall: Freestyle Metal X isn't particularly realistic, but it is alot of fun, a very accessible game that should appeal to most ages, fans of motorbikes or not. Overall, a decent, fun game, which is well worth a play. Gameplay: This game controls well, you only really need the accelerator and analogue stick and you can have some fun, so even small children can just pick it up and have a great time. The physics are way over the top, and many of the tricks a little too insane to be realistic, but the arcadey style gameplay makes it great fun. There's plenty of fun to be had, with many huge levels, which interestingly, can be jumped between one another with no load times, this is a great feature. There's a stunt mode where you can attempt to jump huge numbers of cars, and human darts which is a great laugh. Graphics: Visually this game is nice, textures and models are okay, nothing really special, and the graphics don't look particularly crisp, but it's not painful to look at, and gets the job done well. Sound: There's some cool effects, mostly just the sounds of your bike though, but they're done well. The soundtrack is reasonable, bands like Megadeth give the game a metal feel to match its name, though the choice of tracks isn't particularly inspired. The lack of custom soundtracks lets this game down a little. Suggestions: I'm not sure there's any room for a sequel, but if there were to be one, just build on what's already there, it's a solid game that plays well, and could be built upon to create an even better game.
